Armory Art Center Classes Starting, August 30 through September 4

The First Session of the 2010 Fall classes


at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach.

I'll be teaching my popular one day workshop; Introduction to Digital Photography for those of you that want to learn the basics of digital photography and the functions of your camera. Bring fresh batteries, your camera and any accessories plus all of your questions.
Tuesday, August 31, 9:30 to 4:30 with an hour for lunch.

Wednesday, September 1 from 6 until 9 PM will be the first meeting of the Intermediate Digital Photography class.
The class will meet on Wednesday evenings for four weeks.
This is a basic to intermediate digital photography class for SLR, Super Zooms and advanced compact digital cameras with automatic and manual controls. The class is aimed at those camera owners who want to understand how to control their cameras and capture the image they see through the view finder. Bring your camera, manuals, freshly charged batteries and a memory card. The class will be taught as a relaxed, hands-on interactive group. We will go over the functions of your camera and explain the choices seen in the menus and controls while covering the various automatic programs and manual exposure settings.



Photographing the Human Form

We've been working on some new ideas. Bending over backwards for our class.
Come out and take part in a four week creative, instructional work shop studying the human form through photography.
Thursdays, 6 until 9 pm. Starting September 2nd.

Creating images of people, from powerful portraits to artistic abstracts, we will explore posing, exposure control and lighting to achieve results with impact. With a model, we'll work in the studio and around the Armory grounds in pursuit of our ideas. Simple reflectors, light modifiers, small flash as well as studio flash will be discussed and used.

Equipment: Digital or film camera with manual exposure controls. SLR digital is preferred. Students may bring additional equipment such as external flashes, light meters, studio flash, etc.
